Limit SMS History Display?

I've tried searching but I can't find an answer to this for the HD2.
Is there a way of limiting the number of messages displayed in an SMS conversation's history? I'm having to wait a good 10 seconds for all the past texts of some contacts to load before I can start to type, which is obviously extremely annoying. Limiting the amount it displays to 20 or so would be absolutely fine.
Anyone have any ideas?

This is a good idea, at the moment I am trying to keep on top of my messages by deleting older ones. I find it very strange that there is such a huge delay when there are loads of messages in a conversation. Whats the 1ghz processor doing? Having a tea break?

Oh ? I thought I was the only one who suffured of the loading speed in the SMS history.
On my last and beloved Cruise, the history was splitting in a few pages.
Someone know how to make it the same way ?

A solution for this would be nice!

Yes ! Perhaps we should try to post it in general XDA forum ?

Would like this also, now I'm using the old message view again (not threaded) because the other one is way to slow

I need this too...
Please, find a way to split threaded sms like in old TF3D!!!!

I hope HTC knows about this problem and will release a fix! Just write HTC about it...the more the merrier!

correct! Please report it to HTC so that they will fix this.
For the moment you can use this "workaround":
Open the inbox for this contact and try immadiately to hit the "send" button and answer the question "...really want to send an empty message.." witn "no"....that's it.
the keyboard is directly available and you can answer

i wonder if its possibly something to do with the small thumbnail images on every message thats slowing it down????? maybe removing these may make a difference, anybody know how to do that though?? lol

I've tried it and that has no effect on the speed

booo! lol i`v reduced the text size to smallest and that seems to have helped a bit, i havent got many messages right now i`l know soon if it really makes an impact when i dont delete my messages.
forget that comment above dont think it makes a blind bit of difference lol

Just click
All Messages > Menu > Settings > Traditional Mode

The traditional mode separate the sent messages and the received messages.
But if one has lot of messages from the same contact, this will still be slow.

Solution
My solution for this problem is that once a day a sync with windows my phone and archive the old messages there or save old messages with jeyo mobile companion, thus leaving in the phone a minimum amount of messages. until HTC solves the problem this works for me

I'm archiving old messages on MS MyPhone too for the time being. An acceptable workaround for me for the time being.

I used gosms for a while. I really like the features, but whenever I would restart my phone, it would resend some messages to a few people once in a while. Really annoying! I just switched back last week to handcent

[Q] SMS Issues

I have recently got the X10i after yrs of a N95 ( sorry ), am doing my best to like the phone and am giving it every chance. I have lurked on this site and last week I rooted the phone and made it more personnal for me, thanks to the developers and those who provide the info for rooting.
I quickly removed the moxier stuff and also the messaging app but I am having issues with handcent sms, I wanted it for group/bulk texting tbh but it seems I have to restart the phone to get it to send a text to a group which has got 18 recipients.
Once the phone has started up I can send a group text no probs but the second group text will send to 1 or 2 of my contacts but the rest then fail, so I then restart the phone and resend the text and they get delivered, I have tried chompsms, grouptext and groupui, but each one gives me the same problem.
Has anybody got any ideas or another app I could try to resolve this issue ?

maybe it could be that the sms apps you use need (or work thanks) the main messaging app which were installed on the phone, the one you uninstalled.

I dont think it is that to be honest, I think it is more to do with the amount of contacts in the list, so I am hopeful that somebody confirms this and also gives me a better option.

Actually this could be true, as you should not remove core system applications, such as messaging.

so, you can try resetting your phone using Update Service software on your pc. I tried searching for an SMS app in my mobile folder to share with you, but there are several files that may be connected togheter, about messaging, and I am not able to choose the right one (or ones) to share.

[APP][2.1-2.3]Multi Texter

UPDATED TO 2.1.0!! Themes now supported.
** Multi Texter has no limit to send messages **
There is no limit to send to 20 contacts or anything like that. It is totally unlimited from the app. Just that the total number should not reach 100 messages in an hour for the app thats an android limit. If you have removed the limit then you can send unlimited messages from my app.
Hey guys. I have made an app that lets you send multiple messages to multiple contacts. For example. you can select 15 messages from a unified inbox and send them to 20 contacts. It's got tons of more features, and it's free. Do try it and review it.
Description: "It's different!"
What makes it different is that in this app you can choose multiple SMS from a unified Inbox to send to multiple Contacts. In other apps you choose a single message to send to many people. But here you can choose multiple SMS. This is a must have app if you like to forward a lot of messages. Works in multiple threads so you get TRUE Multi Texting.
Features:
*Groups
*Custom Messages
*Multiple SMS
*Multiple Recipients
*Drafts
*Retry Failed Attempts
*Search through Messages and Contacts by Message Content or Contact Name
*Delete multiple messages-Press menu in "Create"
Screenshots:
Here is the market link: http://market.android.com/details?id=com.xntax.multitexter
Direct download(For use unless you don't have Market):
((Updated))
MultiTexter-2.1.0.apk

Reserving Space
For later use.

Does this allow me to have a chat with 3 or more people?

Like the idea downloading now
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App

I regularly have to write and send sms to 50 different contacts... Will this application make it easier than normal sms applications (like gosms, handcent, etc)?

Can anyone post the APK please? I'm on a Tablet and can't access the download link through market.

This doesn't allow you to "chat" but let's you to send bulk SMS in a very modern fashion never done before.

I really want to fix those FC's on the Sensation. I don't have access to one so I can't fix it without your help. Please PM me with what exactly you were doing and how you experienced it. And next time you experience an FC send your forum name in it so I will have a better understanding of the problem while talking to you about it.
I am releasing an update which will fix a few problems I have seen. But not sure about this Sensation problem.

You will have to google that up. You have to remove the limit yourself on your phone. You'll have to root the phone first though.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

wow.. awesome app. had sooooo much fun with this today.

Glad to hear that you like the app.

Is there any chance of an update for this app? I really wish someone develop an app similar to this one.

Reported Post: [Q] How Many Of You Guys Use The Samsung Stock Messenger App?

I actually quite like the app (except for the fact that it sends a long text into separate messages, unlike textra that kept it all together. ) It's fast and I like how they implemented quick reply. This may be the first time that I've wanted to keep the stock messenger app rather than trash it. So how many of you guys kept the stock app or did you end up replacing it with your favorite?

I'm using mysms, it allows me to send messenges from my tablet and my PC as well

In using Google messenger. Very similar to the Samsung one but just has the edge

just installed textra and liking it , is there a way to display the small contact photo beside each message you send and receive like in stock messenger ?

I love stock, but I'm using Disa cause I uninstalled Facebook and the Messenger. The integration in Disa is great. No quick reply though which sucks.

I kinda miss textra, but I might suggest they borrow samsungs quick reply. Its less intrusive while playing games and it also doesn't force auto rotate.

After years of hearing about it, I'm using chompSMS, because combined with my Pebble and Pushbullet, I have a unified, synchronized notification system across all three platforms.

Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Thank you.
